Another epic tour of epic epicness...

After a successful first journey across the world searching for the ultimate bar in February 2019, we decided to launch our second spectacular pub adventure, this time visiting twelve countries, four continents and travelling 26,000 miles! Join us for a two week bar and pub extravaganza as we explore some of the best and quirkiest drinking spots on the planet! And thanks to low cost airlines this adventure is perfectly priced…

Saturday 26 September 2020

Guests arrive at the Nicholas Culpeper Pub in London Gatwick's North Terminal to meet the press and photographers and enjoy a few beers to start our adventure in style!

Mid morning flight to Krakow, Poland.

Krakow's bar scene is unique to anywhere else in Europe as Krakow prefers the gloomy but beautiful basement bars! These dive bar establishments are adored by locals and travellers alike and we will be visiting the very best bars in the city.

You will also be pleased to know that Krakow has some of the cheapest beer in Europe!

Sunday 27 September 2020

After a relaxing morning walking around the Old City via several bars, we take an afternoon flight to Kiev, Ukraine.

After checking into our hotel we will go for dinner and drinks at Ward No 6 (Palata No 6), one of our favourite places which was recently featured in the “10 places to drink in before you die” list! Be sure to try the shot requiring you to wear a straitjacket, WW2 helmet and be set on fire whilst being bashed on the head with wrenches and beer kegs...

You will soon find out that Kiev's nightlife is truly unique! It is a 24/7 capital city with a bar scene that’s going from strength to strength. We will check out an amazing selection of bars and dance the night away with the locals!

Monday 28 September 2020

Up early to get on our comfortable AC minibus to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone! This tour is optional.

On the way there, we stop for breakfast as well as watch a documentary on the disaster.

On arrival, we go through the entry procedure and processing of our permits.

Visit the village Zalissya, the main square of the town of Chernobyl, “Fukushima” memorial, Statue to Lenin, the abandoned Synagogue and the only active church in the zone.

After our epic tour we board our bus for the drive back to Kiev arriving at 5pm.

Belarus is the least visited country in Europe and has been described as Europe’s ‘only Soviet State’. But Minsk in particular has an extremely vibrant and interesting bar scene and we will do our very best to check it out!

Tuesday 29 September 2020

As well as another cracking bar crawl today, we will also have time to check out the awesome Soviet style buildings, monuments and iconic statues of Lenin.

Evening flight to Nur-sultan (previously known as Astana), Kazakhstan.

Wednesday 30 September 2020

Early morning arrival in Nur-sultan.

Nur-sultan has been described as one of the strangest capital cities on Earth - you really have to see it to believe it! Look out for buildings such as the flashy glass pyramid, a Disney version of the White House, a vase-like tower with a ball on top that the president apparently designed on the back of a napkin during a state dinner and the finance ministry shaped as a dollar bill!

And luckily Nur-sultan is a friendly place and we will soon discover all the different types of bars from the Kazakh shashlyk, Russian Karaoke to Irish and English pubs as well as the classic American sports bars.

Thursday 1 October 2020

Early morning flight to Moscow, Russia for a day trip and bar crawl!

We will visit the main sights such as Red Square, Lenin’s Tomb as well as the Kremlin.

After our sightseeing we will enjoy a bar crawl across the city.

Afternoon flight to New Dehli, India.

Friday 2 October 2020

Early morning arrival.

If you haven't been to India before then get ready for a culture shock!

Many visitors to Delhi describe their first experience as 'SSO' aka 'Serious Sensory Overload'!

With exploring the city we will also discover Dehli’s bar scene in the Connaught Place district as well as drinking with the locals in various classic bars.

Saturday 3 October 2020

Early morning flight to Phuket, Thailand.

After a busy week of pub crawling, it's time to relax on the beach!

We will spend some time discovering the excellent beach bars as well as the famous Bangla Road in Patong with its bright neon lights and crowds of party-lovers.

Sunday 4 October 2020

Morning flight to Singapore.

We have about 12 hours to check out this fascinating country as well as it’s famous watering holes! Just be careful of the power of those Singapore Sling cocktails...

Monday 5 October 2020

Early morning flight to Melbourne with a mid morning arrival.

Melbourne's bar scene continues to be the envy of the nation from its world-beating cocktail lounges to its down-and-divey saloons.

We will be checking out quite a few bars during our relaxed two days in this exciting city!

Tuesday 6 October 2020

Late evening flight to Auckland, New Zealand.

Wednesday 7 October 2020

Early morning arrival.

Thankfully when it comes to all things bar and booze-related, Auckland is a gift that keeps on giving!

From rooftop terraces to lavish lounges and everything in between, the city has plenty of places to unwind or party until the sun comes up.

We will do our very best to discover quite a few out on our two days in the city!

Thursday 8 October 2020

Late evening flight to Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.

Thursday 8 October 2020

Morning flight to Los Angeles.

Late afternoon arrival in Los Angeles.

Transfer to our hotel in Santa Monica.

Today we can chill out on the beach and discover funky Venice. Santa Monica is home to every type of bar and every breed of drinker!

The bar scene here is much more relaxed than the rest of Los Angeles. The dress code is much more casual and getting in depends less on who you know and more on what time you arrive!

Luckily Santa Monica is full of English pubs - they are everywhere! We will try our best to check them out as well as the finest dive bars this part of the city has to offer!

Saturday 10 October 2020

Early afternoon flight to London Gatwick.

Sunday 11 October 2020

Early morning arrival at London Gatwick.

Wow, we made it! Twelve countries, four continents, 26,000 miles and one hell of an adventure!

Important Tour Information

We are offering a one of a kind tour with plenty of adventures along the way! We have suggested excursions at certain stops on the journey but we want our group tour to be as spontaneous as possible. We will be using social media throughout our travels across the world to get the best recommendations, tours and maybe a few challenges too...

Please check if you require visas for the countries that we are visiting:

UK nationals will need Tourist Visas for Russia and India, Electronic Travel Authorities for Australia and New Zealand as well as an ESTA for the USA. Please contact us if you need assistance.

Although this trip is described a 'Pub Crawl Tour' it doesn't mean that you have to drink alcohol every day of our journey.

On each stage of the trip we will recommend local tipples including soft drinks and alcohol free cocktails.

If you choose to drink you need to know your limits. The UK Chief Medical Officers' low risk guidelines suggests 14 units of alcohol a week for both men and women. This is equivalent to 6 pints of beer, 6 glasses of wine or 14 shots of spirits.

We also recommend that you should have at least two days a week completely clear of alcohol.

If for any reason you miss your onward flight, it is your responsibility at your expense to catch up with the group.

Smiling Grape Adventure Tours has a strict policy on behaviour. If for any reason you are violent on tour or unruly in any way then you will be kicked off the tour with no refund.
